Bybit has declared the upcoming listing of zkSync. Accompanying this announcement is a contentious decision to reassign the “ZK” ticker, previously held by Polyhedra Network, to <a href="https://coingape.com/zksync-announces-final-protocol-upgrade-ahead-of-token-launch/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">zkSync</a>. 
This decision has elicited a lot of negative responses, especially from Polyhedra Network, which was unhappy with the change of branding.
<h2 id="bybit-faces-backlash-over-zk-ticker-change">Bybit Faces Backlash Over ZK Ticker Change</h2>
The conflict over the “ZK” ticker arose when Bybit went public with its intention to use it for listing <a href="https://coingape.com/21-billion-zksync-tokens-to-hit-market-what-to-know/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">zkSync</a>, an action that interfered with Polyhedra Network’s rights to the ticker. In a social media post, Polyhedra Network expressed their discontent with the change as it was similar to being bullied and having their deserved ticker name stripped from them.&nbsp;
The response has been rather negative as the people and other stakeholders have discussed the possibility and the ethicality of such a move. However, in its defense, Bybit has argued that this action is part of a trend of streamlining of the services provided to its clients as well as enhancing the layout of the trading platform.

 It’s unbelievable that, here in 2024, even with the approval of the ETH ETF, there are still projects that offer benefits to various parties and rob others of their rightful ticker name.
 Web3 was never meant to be a breeding ground for BULLYING. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1fa78.png" alt="🩸" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;">

Furthermore, to ensure that Bybit users and other stakeholders do not panic, Bybit has stated that this change in ticker will not impact the tokens that investors have with them concerning the Polyhedra Network tokens that are already being traded on <a href="https://coingape.com/bybit-partnership-boosts-ethena-ena-price-target-amid-high-trader-activity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bybit</a>. Due to the fact that Bybit has continued supporting Polyhedra Network and its community after this incident, it seems that the decision was not made due to hostility, but for the sake of business.
<h2 id="strong-bybit-regulatory-challenges-strong">Bybit Regulatory Challenges&nbsp;</h2>
This ticker controversy arises at a time when <a href="https://coingape.com/bybit-lacks-approval-for-digital-asset-services-in-france-amf-warns/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bybit</a> is facing some issues with the regulatory bodies. Earlier this month, the French financial markets regulator AMF urged the citizens not to use Bybit as the company has no license in France. 
Nevertheless, Bybit had to cease operations in France in October 2023 because of local legislation, and its operations remain under scrutiny as the company seeks a license to operate legally in the country.
The reactions from the market to the announcements made by Bybit have been mixed.&nbsp; While some of the community member are satisfied with the move because it will enable them to concentrate on new listings, there are others who are equally convinced that it will be a negative change that will affect the credibility of projects that have already been launched such as Polyhedra Network.
